Why won't ftp open?

Question

linux

Debian is up on a virtual machine with vsftpd.
If I break into it through the windows command line from the local machine, everything works.
If through Explorer.exe - a blank page, then a timeout error. The same for browsers. NetBeans won't connect either. Port standard - 21.
And from the console and from the explorer and from under the browser I log in under my user on vsftpd.
Can anyone come across?

Answer 1

Most likely you are just connecting from the command line and not transferring files or listing. Most likely, the ports of direct data transfer are not configured.

Answer 2

Read the logs on the server, for sure this will clarify the situation.
